Just thought of a funny exploit

[Dyne]

I don't know if this will work because I just started a new game and don't have the ships to test it... but couldn't you in theory fill all of the docking slots at a factory like a solar power plant or ore mine and undock one when your freighter is pulling up to ensure that nobody else buys up any of the stock?

I feel like I've tried this before.

If memory serves one of the ships will undock temporarily to make room and then redock when they leave. (This may have been an opium dream as well.)

It's easier to just tell the station not to trade with other people though.

[Dyne]

I meant NPC stations for that brief moment before you own your own station. I suppose that's not very cost effective. Oh well, just an idea. :)

[mmmcheesywaffles]

If you block all the ports for too long the station will undock at least one.

[FrostDust]

I've seen it happen myself, once you dock 4 or more ships at a single NPC station, the station will forcibly undock one of your ships after a period of time.

Yo dont really need to block docks at all. Timsup2nothin wrote a thesis on it, using CLS and CLS2

Lol as is everything related to X3. :) I'll give it a look, thanks.

Does not work you get kicked out after a time of docking at an NPC station if another ship wants to dock.

+1 for necroing a post to say something that someone already said. :P

Sounds like something a super evil Doctor would do.
